Abstract

The labor insertion and occupational situation of the graduates of the Faculty of Economics of CRUA was started with a descriptive cross-sectional study and a simple random sample of 162 (42% of the population). Significant percentage did not continue their academic training; more than two thirds of the graduates used a single way to access the labor market, mainly using personal contacts and professional practice. High percentage entered the labor market less than a year after completing studies, in commercial and service companies, followed by banking and financial institutions (Finance and Banking) and nonfinancial government enterprises (Economy). Most get a first full-time, indefinite-term contract with an average salary of B/. 457.65, standing 71%, in the range of B/. 500.00 or less. A high percentage of graduates perceived that their first job was "totally" or "partially” related to the training they received and that their job placement was "successful" or "very successful".
